Synthego High-Throughput Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Genome Engineering

Synthego has launched a genome engineering service for induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. The new offering expands on Synthego's automated cell editing technology to achieve high editing efficiency of iPS cells at an industrial scale. Synthego said its cell-editing platform makes editing, cloning, and maintaining high pluripotency in clinically relevant iPS cells easier, with editing rates as high as 90 percent prior to cloning and 100 percent in clones. The new offering of iPS cells includes modifications by gene knockout, single-nucleotide variation, protein tagging, and other knock-ins.
